10 Pictures That Totally Illustrate The First World Problems Of a Modern Girl

Let’s face it: it’s not easy being a girl. From the unrealistic expectations of society to the simple frustrations of trying to look the way you want, being female can be one of the most maddening things ever. Explaining it to a man? That’s a whole other story.

Why is it that having long hair is like sleeping with a muppet that’s trying to choke you to death? Long, luxurious hair may make you feel like a princess, but you may wake up feeling more like Rumpelstiltskin.

How do the YouTube makeup tutorials make it look so easy? It looks good in the mirror as you’re putting it on, but it’s so easy to get carried away… and then suddenly, you look like you walked into a door.

Every girl secretly wants to be a model sometimes. Unfortunately, with n amateur photographer, it isn’t always easy to look your best. Try asking your friend to take several shots, so you can pick the best one!

Skipping leg day is one thing, but when it’s winter (pants season) and your love life is less than active, it’s easier and easier to unleash the beast. Just don’t show it off like this girl. Or do show it off--it’s your perogative.

Remember how I blamed the amateur photographer earlier? Sometimes that amateur is you. Sadly, you’ll just have to practice. Try aiming from a higher angle, and turning up the lighting. The good news? The only person who will see your bad selfies is you.
